A glamorous aura has always surrounded Mallorca-based Z-66, formed by Lorenzo Santamaría with an ever-changing roster of musicians who played also in such bands as Los Bríos, The Pipe and Bronze. They honed their skills on the island’s live circuit, playing illustrious venues like the Whiskey a Go-Go and the Sgt Peppers (where they shared a bill with none other than The Jimi Hendrix Experience, without ever getting to actually play that night). This, along with their unusual popsike/garage/soul covers, placed them in the eye of the scene.
